Wow, my peeps ran away with Frankie and Mamaw and Papaw Pantslegs last weekend! They all had a blast together. Here are some pix of this cool place they went where there were pawesome wood carvings...Warther Museum in Amish Country in Ohio...
Mr Warther was amazing at carving wooden pliers.
He made this pawesome scene from a steel mill...and the parts move!! All hand carved!
Cool huh?!?
His whole family liked to hunt for arrow heads, then he arranged them to display.
Check out the detail in the engine!
He met several US presidents and here he is on the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson.
Anyway, if you find this interesting, you can check out the museum if you're ever in Ohio!
Grr and Woof,
Sarge, COP
oh my gosh--how ridiculously AWESOME!!! it is so neat to see things like this, i love local history!
ReplyDeleteOh Sarge you put up some terrrrrrific pics and the two movies are grrrrrreat.
ReplyDeleteGuess What... the moving pawts on the steel mill... have NEVER EVER needed to be oiled.. because of the type of wood that he used to make those thingys.
What a grrrreat talented man he was. He even CARVED POST CARDS that actually went through the mail to his furends.. and he even had LETTERS from three PRESIDENTS about his wonderful work.
We really enjoyed learning all about that Warther museum. He was quite a talented carver. All of his work was so impressive. Thanks for sharing more pics of his wonderful work.

I remembered reading this post from yesterday but apparently I didn't bother to watch the videos. I totally forgot about them until Frankie mentioned them so I had to come back and check them out.
ReplyDeleteAha! The videos are working for us now. That is just amazing! The carvings themselves are incredible, but then he makes them move, too! WOW!!! Thanks for sharing!
